Paper: A Platform for Sharing Data of Field Operational Tests

Technical paper presented at ITS World Congress Detroit, in January 2015.

In this paper we will describe how a platform is being developed for sharing data collected in Field Operational Tests (FOTs). In these tests often a huge amount of data is gathered about driver behaviour and the interaction between drivers, vehicles, ITS, infrastructure and the traffic environment. These datasets are often only partly analysed, because of targeted research goals and lack of resources. They may be of great value for other organisations and researchers in order to answer further research questions and to determine the impact of widescale use of ITS. The paper will describe a how a European platform for enabling data sharing and data re-use is being developed.
